Hi ladies, so my question is a little personal, sorry. I have an IUD so pre surgery I would get my TOM regularly but just spotting. Since surgery, Feb 11, I had my period that day and it end a couple of days after surgery. Then again a week after just spotting a couple of days. Now again 2 days ago but heavier. Not really really heavy. But heavier than i'm used to with the IUD. Has this happen to anyone else or have you heard of this. Can it be a sign of anything more serious?

Maybe just call your gyn and or your surgeon,it could be your body regulating itself while in ketosis or old blood but you could ask them if it's normal, Sorry I don't have much advice but I feel your pain.

What type of IUD do u have? The Paraguard or Mirena?

Mirena.

I have Mirena too and its cuz of the high protein ketosis. It will go back to normal....nothing to worry about

I had the Mirena 2 years before surgery and barely got a period. Right after I was sleeved I got my period BAD for about 2 weeks. I think it was just my body thrown into shock by the surgery and meds. I am fine now.

Thanks. I feel much better. This forum and you ladies are a lifesavers.

I am glad you posted this! I was wondering the same exact thing!

Before surgery I had barely anything..... And then since, I have had a full blown period. Nothing outrageous but way more and longer than pre-surgery. I was starting to wonder if the IUD had fallen out or something????

Good to know that this is all normal!
